Background. Since 2020, FARchitect has participated within the Tianyuhe Village panorama beautification challenge because the design get together, and established shut connections and belief with the village collective and villagers in design and on-site providers. Firstly of 2021, inspired by the nationwide rural revitalization coverage, Tianyuhe Village collective determined to introduce “New Village Craftsman Residents” and switch 4 idle rural homesteads into “Craftsman’s Home” homestays with the theme of craftsmen’s studios, as a mannequin challenge for the village collective to discover new fashions of rural revitalization. The 4 “Craftsmen’s Homes” embrace the agricultural restaurant of the Chef’s New Village Resident’s Studio, the agricultural conventional Chinese language tradition museum of the Calligrapher’s and Painter’s New Village Resident’s Studio, the agricultural design heart of the Architect’s New Village Resident’s Studio, and the agricultural homestay school of the homestay operator’s New Village Resident’s Studio. Nevertheless, FARchitect had been deeply influenced by this new mannequin of rural revitalization and accepted the invitation as New Village Resident Architect, changing into the masters of the agricultural design heart.


Planning and positioning. Within the preliminary positioning of the general “craftsmanship home” challenge, the architect’s “craftsmanship home” was outlined as two unbiased features: “resident architect studio” and “homestay”. Making an allowance for the driving position of later operation and enlargement of the challenge, we suggest to, on the one hand, deal with the “resident architect studio” as an open public area, open to each villagers and visitors staying within the resort; However, increase this “resident architect studio” right into a rural design heart that features complete artwork areas similar to rural artwork museums, rural reception halls, rural cafes, rural tea rooms, and rural artistic workplace areas. This rural design heart, as a public artwork area, is just not solely an workplace area for resident architects, but in addition a public and repair area for the homestay a part of the home, a public reception corridor for 4 “craftsmen’s homes” tasks, and an artwork museum for native villagers. The Tianyuhe Rural Design Heart serves as a two-way window to showcase the native people artwork of Tianyuhe Village to city vacationers, whereas bringing town’s creative sources to the countryside for native villagers. Architects not solely present design providers for rural areas but in addition additional obtain the purpose of empowering villages with design and artwork.



3 Quantity and Mountain. Situated within the mountains, Tianyuhe Village boasts stunning and majestic surroundings. The unique 4 idle homesteads had been distributed on 4 adjoining terraces between the river and the foot of the mountain, whereas the Rural Design Heart was comparatively the tallest. Correctly managing the connection with overwhelming pure landscapes, strictly adhering to planning and environmental rules, and sustaining coordination with surrounding homes on the identical time reflecting a sure diploma of individuality as an artwork heart, which is the main focus when contemplating the connection between structure and the exterior atmosphere. Via a number of discussions with the village collective and consulting with the planning and administration division on insurance policies. We strictly restrict the constructing define to the unique 160 sq. meters of land occupied by the outdated home and attempt to cut back the constructing top as a lot as potential inside the deliberate pink line with a top restrict of 9 meters. In such a good looking pure panorama, the homestay part requires a terrace and a glass restaurant. Due to this fact, we divided the roof right into a flat-roofed terrace part and a sloping roofed visitor room part after which hid the peak of the sloping roof by way of the extension of the parapet wall on the terrace part. Lastly, a three-story spatial structure was achieved at a visible top of seven.4 meters and a constructing top of 8.1 meters. By way of constructing supplies, we’ve chosen demolished outdated blue bricks because the floor materials, and the mottled and historic blue bricks are built-in with the mountain, boulders, and rubble retaining partitions carefully behind. The constructing is like a man-made rock set within the mountains at an appropriate scale and likewise integrates with the encircling homes as a easy blue brick home. Nevertheless, its thought-provoking home windows entice individuals to discover the inside.



Perform and Circulation. The attractive and valuable pure atmosphere requires minimal quantity, whereas the practical positioning of the design heart and homestay requires most content material. Due to this fact, how you can obtain intensive and composite utilization of the positioning is the main focus of spatial design. Firstly, we clearly distinguish between the design heart as a public area and the homestay as a personal area, in order that they don’t have an effect on one another. As a result of location of the positioning on the foot of the mountain, which is comparatively closed within the decrease areas however open within the increased areas, the homestay part is positioned at a better degree to attain an excellent view, and the design heart is positioned at a decrease degree to reinforce accessibility and public accessibility. The design heart has arrange a rural artwork museum, a rural reception corridor, a rural tea room, and a rural artistic area, assigning completely different ranges and heights to every area, and forming a wealthy spatial visible impact. It’s related by a single-running staircase that highlights the general public nature, coming into from the doorway of the entrance yard; The homestay part is supplied with 4 visitor rooms, a kitchen, a storage room, a glass restaurant, and an remark terrace, a outfitted with a double working staircase as unbiased transportation coming into from the doorway of the yard. On the one hand, a transparent distinction between the private and non-private elements can be sure that their features don’t intrude with one another, and then again, these two elements will be organically related in rural reception halls. Via the general composite design of elevation, flooring top, perform, and circulation, the Tianyuhe Rural Design Heart maximizes inside utilization whereas minimizing exterior environmental occupations, and likewise brings a particularly wealthy spatial expertise.


Materials and Efficiency. Tianyuhe Village has distinct 4 seasons, with a extreme chilly in winter and scorching warmth in summer time. Though the surroundings is magnificent in winter, the bottom temperature is under minus 10 levels Celsius. As a result of lack of heating, native villagers usually go down the mountain to dwell in winter; Though the temperature in summer time is decrease than in cities, the best temperature can also be above 35 levels. Due to this fact, how you can enhance the thermal efficiency of buildings and the consideration of inexperienced and low-carbon is not a superficial subject, however an necessary subject that house owners ought to actively take into account to cut back working prices. Firstly, in such a good looking pure atmosphere, rejecting the Mies-style glass field is just not solely as a result of its abrupt look but in addition as a result of power consumption points. As a result of obstruction of the mountain terrain, solely the excessive north aspect of the home receives direct daylight in winter. Due to this fact, the openings of this blue brick-shaped constructing is much less within the low areas and extra within the excessive areas. On the best terrace, an all-glass restaurant is about up as a sunroom, which isn’t solely a type consideration, but in addition a necessity for power conservation. Secondly, by way of wall development, an 8cm XPS insulation layer is about between the 120mm blue brick pores and skin and the 200mm concrete insulation block on the internal wall. This 400mm thick outer wall and high-performance system home windows form the looks of the “rock” and make sure the wonderful insulation efficiency of the home. Lastly, the particular spatial design not solely shapes the clear visible relationship but in addition brings a number of air flow all through your complete constructing, lowering air-con power consumption in summer time.


6 Structure and Inside – The particular features and spatial design carry wealthy inside area experiences, that are the muse of spatial relationships. Strengthening this spatial impact in inside design is the core of the inside design stage. The best design logic is to tell apart completely different areas by way of easy supplies and colours similar to concrete, wooden, white, and black. Due to this fact, the partitions, window frames, doorways, tables, beds, cupboards, and baseboards are all fabricated from birch plywood (ocean board), and the colour, texture, and moisture-proof efficiency of the unique wooden completely match the pure environment and bodily atmosphere of the mountains and wilderness. The wooden and polished concrete flooring, in addition to the uncovered concrete ceiling, create a easy and pure environment within the room. The white area serves as a void, whereas the black furnishings and the dancing flames within the fire additionally point out bodily exercise. Completely different from conventional inside design, right here, area is the essence, and supplies should not the protagonists who leap into the foreground, however the supporting position that shapes the sense of area and farness.


Area Depth Aesthetics. In apply, Tianyuhe Rural Design Heart is the primary accomplished home within the “Architectural Area Depth Aesthetics” sequence works of FARchitect. The overall “wealthy spatial impact” will be exactly defined right here: in contrast to enclosed and remoted rooms in every day life, the 5 rooms related by way of rural reception halls, together with the agricultural artwork museum, rural reception corridor, rural tea room, rural artistic area, and a personal kitchen room, type a three-dimensional and mutually open group of rooms as an entire. Every room opens to each nature and neighboring rooms, rigorously sustaining its sense of area with out collapsing, making it really feel prefer it can’t keep. The parallel partitions of this group of rooms type two line-of-sight relationships that cross a number of rooms and connect with the out of doors mountain: one line of sight passes by way of public rooms and tea rooms, trying up on the mountain; One other group of eyes crosses by way of public rooms and personal kitchens, trying down on the mountains. When the viewer’s gaze passes by way of the openings of every flooring of a room in a public area and appears out on the mountains and forests exterior the window, the depth of the area turns into an indescribable phantasm, changing into an object of aesthetic reflection, permitting individuals to consistently shuttle between two staircases and keep in entrance of various openings. Because of this, the home turns into an artwork of area; When the lights on the pitch-black kitchen entrance are turned on, the butler of the homestay, who was making ready meals, immediately invades the general public view. At this second, every part was on the contact of the attention however far-off. Exterior the window, there was heavy snow blocking the mountain, and the hearth within the fire was burning fiercely. At this second, the constructing created an inside world positioned within the pure wilderness.
